Fasm forum hacked

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Yes, and I saw that the guys from there are thinking about replacing php with a "home made"soft... This may be interesting...

I'm looking forward to the new forum, undoubtedly in assembly, compiled to a cgi-bin executable ... :)

Everything is hackable unfortunatly(In saying that , I know many on the osdev front no some really really technical ways of coding so I reckon immplement a new system with 100% your own code and it will be as secure as it can be :) ), I know this perhaps isnt politically correct but those guys would get alot more sympathy if they hit the sites of people resposible for DRM and such things(Just pure examples here to elucidate a point :) ) as opposed to hitting sites that are there to help the average person, and especially doing it on whats effectively a land mark for the site, my guess would be its someone who doesnt like the site perhaps for getting hassle somehow when they were on it, either way its bad! Sorry to hear about the site getting hacked
